TRUMP ASSURES IOWA GOVERNOR EPA ADMINISTRATOR NOMINEE WILL FAVOR ETHANOL
Dec. 16, 2016
AgWired.com reports:
Some ethanol interests are understandably a little concerned about President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Oklahoma AG Scott Pruitt as head of the EPA, considering his previous opposition to the Renewable Fuel Standard.
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, who has accepted the position as Trump's ambassador to China, got his assurances about Pruitt from the president-elect himself. During his weekly press conference Monday, Branstad said he talked to Trump during his "Thank You" tour in Des Moines last week.
"First thing Trump told me is 'don't worry about him, he's going to be for ethanol,'" Branstad said, laughing. "I think that was a condition he laid out when he appointed him."
